I followed someone pouring hot tea/coffee out of a flask into a cup in his lap at 60 mph on the M42. As it was before mobiles I stopped at a roadside phone and rang the police and reported him. Pity he didn't spill it!

This is why I would love a dashcam (hoping to convince the Mrs still!) then I could turn the camera, get them to wave and then send it in to the local office. Even if I can get just one person scalded for their stupid actions (no pun intended) it would be worth the investment, and if I could save myself blame in an insurance incident... better still!

Unfortunately for people like me (with budget smartphones) the camera quality means that you can get the general picture but not specifics enough to have a clean video for the officer in the event its needed. I used to use autoboy from the android store, that had a free version and worked rather well. I am sure that for the upper market smartphones it will do perfectly, but if like me you have a budget device, then you probably wont get the benefit from it!
